Get well soon Arthur, we are thinking of you, and our love and aroha goes out to Whaea Lucinda, who is by his side during this time.  God speed and a speedy recovery for you Arthur.  Here is one of our tamariki making a Card for Arthur, Lucinda and whanau.

Tin Foil sculptures

Wow, these are made from tinfoil, they have been sketched then formed by scrunching up the foil and moulding it.  I think these look fantastic and a good medium to work with as well.

Whainga Ako:  to design a flat picture with a few lines, then be able to transform it into a 3D sculpture.

 

Update on our Mural - woohoo coming along fantastic, hopefully will be finished by  the end of the term - more to come......

 Tamariki have been working to add the green maunga and the awa, they are getting use to the ridges in the wall surface

Nice pics of a couple of very good friends, handy, was just trying to show the scale of the mural.

Irrigation

Once again a huge thankyou to our whanau members who come and do this mahi for our tamariki.
Thank you Ruku and Bubs - You Rock!

Irrigation line is going in to feed the outside gardens, the native tree nursery and our green houses.
We are very lucky to have such awesome whanau and a cool as Caretaker.

GTT - Cooking is part of our Garden to Table Programme

If there is one thing that tamariki love - it's cooking, and the next best thing they love is eating

We have cooking as part of our GTT programme, we try and use produce from our gardens.  This week we used produce from our gardens from last year, yes we had preserves which we used in our Fruit Cupcakes - yummo.

Whakapapa - we all have it.
Whainga Ako:  to recognise who is in our immediate whanau and how to answer Ko wai to ...

We used a visual approach to help tamariki see who they were talking about in their whanau.

The warriors come to Kaikohe

The Warriors come to Kaikohe

Whainga Ako:  to use our Whanaungatanga values in our community.

Some of the tamariki from KWS were privileged enough to be invited to meet the Warriors and do some training with them.  Even the weather didn't put them off.
